Wait.. So if we teach our dog a trick, the judge decides if it's perfect enough..? Or how would that be judged? By completion? I'm not sure I understand how it would be 'judged' other than by completion.

We should also make some criteria to judge by, things like willingness to perform/ enthusiasm, completion of task, hesitation etc. and we also need to make sure we are all training up to the same level as in, do the dogs have to be at the point where they are off hand signal and on to only vocal command or does it not matter? Just some ideas.
